Illustration Friday: Bicycle

In my illustration, I often struggle with technical elements like machinery and buildings. I prefer more organic and subjective forms. Because of this, I found this week’s Illustration Friday topic to be a huge challenge… as well as a great opportunity to push myself. There aren’t many creative interpretations one can make for the WORD bicycle… it is what it is. So, when developing my concept I had to consider the use of the object instead.

Most interpretations of the classic fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood depict her walking through the woods to grandma’s house. Obviously there are much more efficient ways for her to get there… riding her bicycle for example. (Click image to enlarge)

I hope you enjoy this illustration of Red riding! As always, constructive criticism welcome and encouraged!
